SUMMARY:HHWN WEBINAR: Supporting Medical Directors & Hospice Physicians
DESCRIPTION:Supporting Medical Directors & Hospice Physicians: Collaboration\, Regulations & Best Practices\nStrengthen confidence in recertification decisions with clear guidance\, collaboration strategies\, and compliance insight. Hospice Medicare eligibility continues to challenge agencies as patients experience longer stays and gradual declines. This webinar will provide practical tools for collaboration between hospice teams\, medical directors\, and hospice physicians to ensure documentation accurately supports terminal eligibility. You will gain actionable strategies to reinforce sound clinical judgment and strengthen interdisciplinary support in the recertification process. \nKEY WEBINAR TAKEAWAYSRole of baseline assessment and comparatives in supporting collaboration and best practicesKey clinical documentation to support collaboration and best practicesKey information to share during IDG to support medical director collaborationCritical data to review prior to IDG \nBONUS MATERIALSCMS Hospice Documentation Checklist ToolHospice Documentation Audit ChecklistLCD GuidelinesSuggestions for Improved Documentation \nWEBINAR DETAILSHospice Medicare eligibility and supporting terminality is critical. Hospice agencies are frequently under pressure for long length of stays — slow\, steady patient declines reflecting more a chronic disease state than terminal. This webinar is intended to help agencies develop tools and best practices to collaborate and support appropriate hospice recertifications\, including documentation. We will discuss how hospice team members can help support medical directors and hospice team physicians to determine whether to recertify. \nTHE OHPCA PARTNERS WITH HOSPICE & HOME CARE WEBINAR NETWORK PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS AT A DISCOUNT TO OHPCA MEMBERS.

SUMMARY:HHWN WEBINAR: The Assertive Social Worker & Chaplain
DESCRIPTION:The Assertive Social Worker & Chaplain\nAre the roles of social worker and chaplain properly recognized and appreciated in your organization?

Do you believe you are undervalued by the team and/or the organization? Then show up with value! That means making sure everyone knows who you are – your role\, your skillsets\, what you are capable of. To accomplish this\, you need to be assertive – not aggressive. This webinar will be about assuring hospice social workers and chaplains are clear about the pathway to becoming essential\, and well-understood\, members of the interdisciplinary team. \nTHE OHPCA PARTNERS WITH HOSPICE & HOME CARE WEBINAR NETWORK PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS AT A DISCOUNT TO OHPCA MEMBERS.

SUMMARY:HHWN WEBINAR: Maximize Compliance & Minimize Discrimination\, Harassment
DESCRIPTION:Manage Content to Maximize Compliance & Minimize Discrimination\, Harassment & Hostile Work Environment Claims\nBe proactive and stop risky content before it starts! It is possible to manage digital communication and mitigate the increased risk that accompanies the increased use of AI\, social media\, and e-collaboration tools in the workplace. Join expert Nancy Flynn to learn how to implement clear electronic communication policies\, define content rules that ban harassment and discrimination\, and use formal guidelines to prevent posts\, messages\, and media that can trigger lawsuits or serve as damaging evidence. \nKEY WEBINAR TAKEAWAYSE-policies to ban the creating\, posting\, transmitting\, or accessing of content that could trigger lawsuits\, serve as evidence\, or otherwise create costly problemsContent rules outlawing harassment\, discrimination\, and incivility of any kindWhen it comes to business records\, the content is what counts \nBONUS MATERIALSFrom Email to Zoom: Netiquette Rules to Manage ContentRecords Retention Rules: Best Practices for Preserving\, Protecting\, Producing & Purging E-Business RecordsConfidential & Sensitive Information Policy for the Healthcare Industry \nWEBINAR DETAILSThe adoption of AI\, social media\, and e-collaboration tools has ramped up electronic risks\, including discrimination\, harassment\, and hostile work environment claims. No longer restricted to inappropriate email and unmanaged web surfing\, employees (accidentally and intentionally) share unlawful\, impolite\, and unprofessional content that defames patients\, maligns managers\, bullies colleagues\, exposes secrets\, and violates HIPAA. Whether on business or personal accounts\, the results can be disastrous. \nWhen it comes to managing electronic risks\, best practices call for the implementation of electronic policies\, complete with content rules banning harassment\, discrimination\, and incivility. According to the EEOC\, employees in workplaces without such policies suffer the highest levels of harassment. Attend this webinar to learn how to use formal guidelines to outlaw the creating\, posting\, transmitting\, or accessing of content — text\, photos\, videos\, art — that could trigger lawsuits\, serve as smoking-gun evidence in litigation\, or otherwise create costly problems for your organization. \nTHE OHPCA PARTNERS WITH HOSPICE & HOME CARE WEBINAR NETWORK PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS AT A DISCOUNT TO OHPCA MEMBERS.

SUMMARY:HHWN WEBINAR: The Power of Pausing: Debriefing for Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Pausing: Debriefing for Clinician Sustainability\nWitnessing the suffering and distress of patients and families is understandably challenging. Peer-facilitated healthcare debriefings provide time to discuss the impact of the work\, normalize reactions\, and support resilience across careers. This presentation will review evidence that links debriefing programs to reduced staff attrition and healthier coping\, and provide practical steps to design\, implement\, and evaluate a debriefing program that addresses resistance\, secures leadership support\, and promotes equity of practice in any setting. \nKEY WEBINAR TAKEAWAYSNatural consequences of working in healthcare on our emotions and behaviorThe evidence and value of social support to mitigate the harmful effects of this emotional workHealthcare debriefings as an institutionally supported model strategyHow to make the case and implement healthcare debriefings in your workplace \nBONUS MATERIALSMaking the case for debriefingsTraining manual to implement debriefings \nWEBINAR DETAILSHealthcare clinicians\, physicians\, nurses\, social workers\, etc. may experience a variety of emotions related to the work\, including sadness\, frustration\, grief\, guilt\, or isolation. Peer-facilitated healthcare debriefings offer intentional time for providers to talk about the impacts of the work. This evidence-based strategy normalizes\, validates\, and supports providers throughout their work and career. This in turn can directly impact the culture and coping strategies of a group\, unit\, or institution. \nThis workshop will review the strong evidence that supports debriefing programs and highlight the impact they can have on staff attrition. We will discuss the natural\, expectable consequences of working in healthcare and how ongoing debriefings support all staff at any level\, any time during their career. We will then move on to discuss how to design\, implement\, and evaluate a debriefing program. Addressing issues such as institutional resistance\, managerial support\, and equity of practice\, this webinar will leave the participant with a guide to implementing debriefings in their workplace. \nTHE OHPCA PARTNERS WITH HOSPICE & HOME CARE WEBINAR NETWORK PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS AT A DISCOUNT TO OHPCA MEMBERS.
